Avery Island


Avery Island is where Tabasco sauce is made, we toured the factory, one interesting fact is, Tabasco sauce is aged in wooden barrels for Three (3) YEARS before it is bottled.

Also at Avery Island is a Nature Preserve owned be the McElheney family, who still own and manage Tabasco.
This Oak tree was given to the family by President Cleveland.

The last picture is of the nesting racks,docks where the birds nest. There are 1000's of them there.
Avery Island is located south of Laffeytte, LA.
